Boo Khaki Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) It genuinely is astonishing, even more so that there are two teams chasing the ignominy. Can only imagine it's not just poor OL play, but bad pocket awareness (what little I've seen of Howell he still seemed really raw), and scheming that leaves the QB wide open to getting battered. This is probably my biggest gripe with Kellen Moore so far. The promising OL play and run game of the first week has completely vanished, but more annoying is that in all three instances when the Chargers have been in a 2-min drive to win the game situation, he has totally left the OL 1v1 v's the blitz and got Herbert hammered all three times. Herbert has only been sacked 10 times through 5 games, but his average time to sack is the shortest in the league. He's not a pocket statue, in fact he's enormously slippery in the pocket, so it's all about OL just getting straight beat off the snap, inadequate protection, and leaving overmatched players on an island. Aside from Quentin Johnston, Zion Johnson is also looking more and more like a blown #1 as well. Telesco really should be fired into the sun along with Staley.

Brummie Clyde Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Washington's OLine made Da Bears DLine look good. Howell was very tough to get as many good plays in as he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were an expansion team so didn't steal someone's team. Problem with a new team from scratch is the league would now be at 33 teams which to get equal numbers you'd need to move to 10 divisions of 3. If the league wanted to go for new teams from scratch & a sensible division setup you'd need to go to 36 teams which would give 6 divisions of 6. I'm unsure if the league would add four teams at once or even staggered with two teams added per season. On 18/10/2023 at 16:44, pozbaird said: Teams will still move around the USA though. If there was to be any expansion of any sort, it’ll be there. In San Diego, or St Louis, or, at a push, Toronto or Montreal. Even then. Canada is never going to happen as there would be fierce opposition from both the CFL & Maple Leaf Sports. I'd also be opposed to it'd do damage to the CFL as the league to some degree is in a position where some locals look down on the league as it's not the NFL. Akin to how some people in Scotland look down on the SPFL as it's not the Barclays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuboMoravcik Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Wouldn't a British NFL team be a logistical nightmare? Teams visiting for the NFL London games already have a big headache with dealing with jet lag and getting the entire roster over plus equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) It would be fine for the US teams, give divisional rivals bye weeks after playing there in five out of six seasons. That way all conference teams only have to play there without a bye week once every six seasons (once every eight seasons for teams in the other conference). Not that much of a hardship. Much more of an issue for the UK team. I'd imagine they'd have to play in batches of home then away games and have a training base somewhere in the US as well as the UK. Would make then quite unattractive to potential signings as they would have to spend long spells away from their families.

pozbaird Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Does anyone know if there are stats available on the win ratio in London games in regard to teams who come over a week or more in advance, against those who come over a day or two in advance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting caught out too often. I wouldn't be too unhappy with a trade. I am of course hoping the Henry talk is all media hype. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If the Titans can get anything better than a 4th for Henry they should jump all over it. He isn't going to be the difference between them winning something in the next couple of years or not, and he's about to hit the 30 wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the Giants every Washington, Giants, NFC East fan knew the Giants were gonna blitz after blitz, but some how it took EB a whole half of football to realise that's what they'd do Howell is not gonna just break Carr's sack record, he's gonna shatter it, but his sacks to fumbles is going be the greatest ever seen. Every QB in the business wishes they could be that good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Cheeze Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Caught most of the Bears hilarious attempt at being a pro football team last night and wow, they went full bears. If one or two parts of the defense are having a rough night you have a shot at riding it out but when everything goes at once it's really entertaining to watch in a 'might as well laugh' kinda way. One of the few decent hits we did make was on our own fucking teammate putting him out ffs. Even worse than last year and i didnt think that was possible after the money they spaffed up the wall in the summer. Only bright spot was Bagent's performance who could be a reliable backup QB if he was coached by anybody but the muppets at Hallas Hall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
